Workshops Attended

Advanced R Markdown Workshop

This workshop was designed for those who want to take their R Markdown skills to the next level. Focus on the many low-level details in the rmarkdown package and the whole R Markdown ecosystem. The two goals of this workshop were: 1) learn how to fully customize R Markdown output (HTML, LaTeX/PDF, Word, and PowerPoint); and 2) learn more about existing R Markdown extensions in the ecosystem, such as flexdashboard, bookdown, blogdown, pkgdown, xaringan, rticles, and learnr. Focus on how to use or develop new language engines (languages that are not R), how to develop HTML widgets, and integrate Shiny with R Markdown.
